Citrus sudachi

sudachi is a member of the Citrus family. Its botanical name is Citrus sudachi.

Slow-growing citrus, thought to be a wild hybrid between an ichang papeda and some variety of mandarin.

Fruit has a slightly skunky, papeda-meets-lime aroma, thin rind, very juicy, and extremely sour, like a mix of key lime and sour tangerine. Fruit is golf ball-sized, and forms in tight bunched clusters, green at first, ripening to a yellowish-orange color.

sudachi grows as an annual and is an edible fruit. Being an annual plant, it tends to grow best over the course of a single year.

China is believed to be where sudachi originates from.

sudachi is normally fairly low maintenance and quite easy to grow, as long as a level of basic care is provided throughout the year. Being aware of the basic soil, sun and water preferences will result in a happier and healthier plant.
